Recipes of youth: from 35 to 25
Introduction
Let's start with the fact that I wouldn't want to be in my twenty-five years. In fact, I wouldn't even want to be in my twelve years. And frankly, neither would anyone else's. Are you kidding? Good. Let this book be a light and helpful read for you.
Instead of returning to a time of youthful acne and unrequited love, I would like to share with you a story about becoming healthier than we ever were before. And yes, this book will be useful not only for women, but also for men.
Human beings are amazing creatures. So often we pretend and pretend that everything is fine, even when in fact it is not. At the age of twenty-three, I convinced myself that I was full of strength and health. I relayed this to friends and family, but every year I was taken to the hospital in an ambulance with a transient ischemic attack. I wanted to hide from everyone at the time, and only my ex-husband knew of my suffering.
So, why did I decide to write this book? Because in the last year I've seen an incredible number of young women and men who, just like me once did (back in my early twenties), deceive themselves and their audiences on Instagram by claiming to be healthy.
Guys writing about fitness, yoga, nutrition, spiritual enlightenment, finance and psychology have come to me with the same problems: terrible migraines, neck, back and shoulder pain, muscle stiffness, hernias, scoliosis and panic attacks.
When I helped them, they sincerely thanked me, but they never told anyone about my center, for fear that someone would find out about their problems, which were already behind them.
I won't name their names in the book. But I do want to tell you how to begin to trust yourself, not your teachers. I want to share with you ways that you can begin to listen to your body and accept only what it needs, not what advertising campaigns and fashion trends impose.
So let's get started.
In a world where information about healthy living and wellness is readily available, we often forget one important thing: Every body is unique. What works for one person may not work for another. Instead of blindly following fashion trends and society's dictates, let's learn to listen to our bodies and trust them.
The road to health begins with awareness. Awareness of our needs, of the signals our body sends us. Often we ignore these signals, overloading ourselves with food, alcohol, and the wrong lifestyle in general. But our body is not silent-it lets us know about problems through pain, fatigue, and malaise.
The next step is mindfulness. Be attentive to what you eat, what physical activity you devote time to, how you rest. Notice how your body responds to different foods, exercises, and routines. Notice the changes in your well-being and energy. This will help you understand exactly what works for you and your body.
However, awareness and mindfulness are only half the battle. It is important to take responsibility for your health and take steps to improve it. This may include changing your diet, adding exercise, managing stress and seeking help from a neck vascular specialist (more on that later).
Of course, it's not always easy. We all face temptations and challenges on the road to health. But I'm sure every step in that direction is worth the effort. After all, it's so important for us to be our best selves-physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
So what do you do to start trusting yourself and your body?
First, start by understanding your health goals and priorities. Ask yourself the question: What exactly do I want to achieve? It could be improved physical fitness, reduced stress, increased energy, or just a general sense of well-being. When you are clear about your goals, it becomes easier to make decisions that support your health.
Second, pay attention to your lifestyle. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, adequate rest and sleep are all important parts of a healthy lifestyle. Find activities that make you feel good and are right for you. This can be gymnastics, running, dancing, or any other type of physical activity. Also pay attention to your diet – choose fresh and natural foods that will provide your body with the necessary nutrients.
Third, take time for introspection and self-observation. Notice what factors are affecting your well-being. Maybe certain foods are causing you unpleasant symptoms or making your health worse. Or you notice that certain exercises are giving you more benefits and energy. Write down your observations and use them to make decisions for your health.
Finally, be patient and compassionate with yourself. The process of making lifestyle changes and achieving health takes time and persistence. Don't expect instant results, because health is a long-term investment in yourself. Be prepared for challenges and setbacks along the way. But remember that every step, even the smallest one, brings you closer to your goal.
Don't forget the emotional aspect of health. Your mental state also affects your overall well-being. Pay attention to your emotions, stress, and how you manage them. Sometimes taking care of your emotional health can be just as important as taking care of your physical health.
Finally, remember that you are a unique and beautiful person. Don't compare yourself to others or try to conform to the ideals and standards set by society. You deserve a healthy and happy life, and only you know what works best for you.
So trust your body, listen to its needs and make decisions based on your intuition and knowledge. You know yourself best. And remember that being healthy is not only a state of being, but also a journey we take every day.
So let's begin this journey to health and well-being today. Show love and care for yourself, and you will see your life change for the better. You deserve to be a healthy, happy and confident woman (or man) at any age.
Let's embark on this exciting and important journey together!
My Story
My story began when I was two years old. As far back as I can remember and realize, I was faced with health problems at a very early age. It was almost infancy, and one of my most vivid memories was my attempts to cope with a headache. It wasn't easy as a little girl-sometimes in the middle of the night I would stand on my head in a rhombic pose, trying to cope with the incredible pressure felt inside my head.
My parents had to face a challenge, and I was diagnosed with high intracranial pressure. The doctors prescribed heavy pills for me, but my mother noticed that a certain posture, with my forehead in the pillow-pelvis up, which I was taking, helped me get some relief. After standing for a while, the headache would begin to subside, and I could fall asleep peacefully, go to daycare, and go on with my daily life.
Over time, headache medications appeared, and I started taking them. However, with the emergence of school worries, the headache attacks began to become more frequent. I was seen by a child neurologist in the small town of Olonets, in Karelia, where I spent my childhood. Though the quality of medical care in that city left much to be desired, there was one competent physician who helped me. She diagnosed me with a birth injury involving a subluxation of the third cervical vertebra.
However, with my condition, they did not know what to do or how to correct the situation with subluxation of the second and third cervical vertebrae. The doctors only diagnosed me and prescribed pills for the rest of my life. I continued to go to school and suffer from occasional headaches like so many others. I was also told that I had scoliosis, but nothing needed to be done about it because it was supposedly normal and every first person has scoliosis. This approach was based on statistics, but the conclusion was clearly wrong. Instead of looking for ways to combat the problem, it was assumed that it was just the norm.
The neurologist suggested that I do physical therapy (therapeutic exercise) and massages, and she also advised me to use physical therapy procedures, such as Darsenwal, which helped to strengthen the capillary network of the scalp. I tried these methods, but did not notice any significant changes, perhaps only a slight improvement in my general condition. I did not like exercising because it increased my headaches, fatigue and tachycardia (palpitations), which put me in a bad condition.
One day, when my mother wasn't home and a severe pain in my heart came over me, I experienced a terror. My heart was pounding so hard, and then it suddenly stopped, as if it froze before it started beating again. I was frightened and immediately called my older sister for help. Before my mom got home, we called the doctor. I was diagnosed with vegetovascular dystonia, which meant autonomic nervous system disorder and vascular dysregulation. It was like something out of a medical textbook.
As time passed, I started medical school and realized that my previous diagnoses were simply superficial and did not address the underlying problem. They were a kind of reprimand, describing my symptoms, but offering no long-term perspective.
When I saw my older sister receiving chiropractic care, I knew something was wrong. Her back pain, caused by scoliosis, only got worse after this intervention. Her arms and legs began to go numb. This was due to the fact that chiropractic treatment not only shifts the vertebrae, but also traumatizes the surrounding structures: spinal cord sheaths, nerves, vessels, and intervertebral discs. As a result, people often have problems such as pinched nerves and limb numbness. This is very dangerous, and those who have managed to avoid such complications should be congratulated.
The next important episode happened when I was in eighth grade. For two weeks I suffered from terrible headaches and dizziness. One day I woke up and realized that I could not get out of bed. With each movement the dizziness got worse, my heart was pounding, and I couldn't do anything. Although there was no panic, I felt I could have died. This condition lasted for two weeks. I was fed while lying on my side, and I could barely get up to go to the bathroom. It was terrible.
After that my mother took me to a medical commission, and I was placed on disability for a year. Teachers came to my house, and I went back to school. The headaches went back to their previous rhythm. Although it did not happen again, I still had a fear that it could happen again.
By the time I was twenty-three, I had already been admitted to the hospital several times by ambulance with a diagnosis of transient ischemic attack, a transient cerebral circulation disorder. It is accompanied by severe headaches, nausea, palpitations and panic. These conditions are caused by birth trauma and vasoconstriction, which leads to a lack of oxygen and insufficient blood flow to the brain.
Then I got acquainted with the first Atlasterapy specialist in Russia, who had been trained by Schumperli himself. He showed me what happens to the membranes of the medulla oblongata, spinal cord, atlas and head, and what processes occur in the vessels of the neck. It was very clear and I quickly understood the problem. I didn't have to think long, I made the decision to do this procedure.
It was then that I realized that I wanted to practice this methodology. It became my mission, my life's work. Even though it involves a lot of difficulties and obstacles. I know that it would be easier to open a coffee shop or a clothes store, but I want to help other people to become as healthy as I am. I want to implement this methodology in all countries, to establish medical centers and health centers.
I understand that not everyone will understand and accept this methodology because it is different from traditional medicine. Why doesn't conventional medicine talk about this? Why didn't any of my neurologists mention it? Why wasn't I told about this technique at the university where I studied for seven years? All of this raises questions for me.
However, I had no choice. I had to get rid of my problem. At twenty-three, I could not afford to have a stroke at the age of thirty. I knew he was waiting for me. I consulted this doctor, a neurologist who was additionally trained in Atlasterapia. He explained to me in detail how the procedure works, using a model of the neck, spine, and blood vessels. I quickly absorbed the information and it became clear to me that I wanted to do this technique. I realized that I wanted it to be available to everyone, and my goal was to introduce the procedure to medical centers and health care facilities around the world.
I realized that the path I had chosen could be difficult. I realize that I have many obstacles to overcome and the doubts of others to overcome. It may have been easier to open a regular business, but I believe in the power of Atlasterapia and its potential to heal people.
Now I'm 35 years old and I can see the results of my work. My spine is aligned, my headaches and risk of stroke are gone. I no longer experience discomfort or stiffness after long flights or lack of sleep. I was able to regain my health and improve my quality of life.
I want to emphasize that my story is not just an accident or an exception. I have been through hard times and problems, and now I am a living example of how Atlasterapia helps people. I had everything: scoliosis, headaches, serious spinal and cerebral circulation problems. If I hadn't made the decision to have this procedure, I could be disabled now. My life has changed because of Atlasterapia, and I want others to be able to experience these positive changes.
To conclude my story, I want to emphasize that Atlasterapia is not just a technique, it is my mission and my life's work. I am ready to overcome all obstacles in order to introduce this procedure in medical centers around the world and help people regain their health.
I believe that everyone deserves a life without pain or limitation. I want everyone who has experienced spine problems, headaches or other symptoms to be able to access Atlasterapia and improve their condition.
My story is an example of how you can change your life by turning to alternative methods and not being afraid to go against the flow.
If you encounter similar problems, I encourage you to look for alternative solutions, to turn to specialists, to learn new techniques. Perhaps Atlas Therapy will be the answer to your problems, as it happened to me.
My story is a story of hope, faith and healing. May it serve as an inspiration to all who are seeking a path to health and well-being. Trust your intuition and don't be afraid to keep up with what can change your life.
Health is our most precious asset, and I encourage you to cherish it and seek solutions that will help you restore and maintain it. Remember, there are always opportunities for healing, and the most important thing is to keep an open mind and a willingness to explore new ways. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live a life free of pain and to enjoy life to the fullest.
My story is not an isolated case. There are many people who have found relief and healing through Atlasterapia. May this technique be available to all, and we can create a world where health and well-being are a natural part of life.

Here are some practical tips to help you stay young and beautifuname = "note"
1) Healthy Eating: A balanced and nutritious diet is the foundation of health and beauty. Make sure your diet includes fresh fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, high quality proteins, and whole grains. Avoid processed foods, sugar and sugar substitutes, and unnatural additives. Remember that what you eat affects your skin, hair and overall health.
2) Physical Activity: Regular physical activity not only helps you stay healthy but also helps you stay young. A variety of exercises, including aerobic exercise, strength training, and flexibility, can help strengthen muscles, improve circulation, energy levels, and overall fitness. Find an activity you enjoy and try to do it regularly.
3) Skin Care: Proper skin care is an essential part of a beauty regimen. Cleanse your skin daily using gentle and natural products suitable for your skin type. Don't forget daily moisturizing and sun protection. In addition, regular exfoliation and the use of masks will help brighten and rejuvenate your skin.
4) Sleep and Rest: Lack of sleep and constant stress can negatively affect your appearance and overall health. Try to get enough sleep each night – this will help restore energy, improve your mood, and reduce signs of fatigue. It is also important to take time to relax and unwind by enjoying a hobby, reading or walking outdoors.
5) Positive thinking: Your inner state is reflected in your appearance. Positive thinking and good spirits can make a significant contribution to your beauty and youthfulness. Practice gratitude, rejoice in the small joys of life, and work on your inner state. Avoid negative thoughts and self-criticism and replace them with positive affirmations and knowledge. Smile more often, communicate with people who inspire you, and do things that bring you joy.
6) Stress Management: Stress can significantly affect your beauty and youthfulness. Learn effective stress management techniques that are already known and true. In addition, find your own ways to relax that will help you release tension and restore balance.
7) Moderation in the use of cosmetics: Cosmetic products can help improve your appearance, but moderation in their use is also important. Avoid overusing products that contain harsh chemicals. Pay attention to natural and organic products that can help keep your skin and hair healthy.
8) Hair Care: Healthy and well-groomed hair adds to your youth and beauty. Take regular care of your hair by using mild shampoos and conditioners that suit your hair type. Avoid frequent use of blow dryers, irons, and other heat tools to prevent hair damage. Also remember to trim split ends and nourish your hair with nourishing masks.
These practical tips will help you stay young and beautiful for years to come. It's important to remember that each person is unique, and what works for one may not work for another.
Youth through Atlas
However, I can't help but return to the subject of the first cervical vertebra in terms of beauty and youthfulness.
Atlas straightening: The atlas is the upper cervical vertebra that plays a key role in maintaining the proper position of the head and neck. Improper positioning of the atlas can result in vertebral misalignment, which affects a variety of bodily functions. The Swiss atlas repair technique can help restore the atlas to its correct position, which in turn improves blood flow to the brain and overall body function.
Improved blood supply to the brain: Proper positioning of the atlas helps to release the blood vessels in the neck, which ensures a more efficient blood supply to the brain. Good blood flow plays an important role in delivering oxygen and nutrients to the brain cells, which promotes healthy brain function. Improved blood flow to the brain can improve your mental clarity, concentration, memory and overall mental acuity.
Scoliosis repair: Scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine that can cause pain, limited mobility and poor posture. Atlas straightening using the Swiss method can help correct scoliosis. Proper positioning of the atlas affects the spine as a whole, helping to align it and improve posture. This can lead to less pain, more flexibility, and stronger back muscles.
Health and youthfulness: Proper positioning of the atlas has a positive effect on the function of the entire body. Improved blood flow and brain function contribute to overall health and youthfulness. Good posture and a straightened spine help prevent premature aging.
Appearance: Proper atlas positioning and scoliosis correction can also affect your appearance. When your posture aligns, your shoulders are straight, your back is straight, and your head is in its natural position, your appearance changes. You look taller, more confident and younger. In addition, improved blood flow and body function contribute to healthy, glowing skin and strong, shiny hair.
Preventing premature aging: Proper atlas positioning and healthy posture are important to prevent premature aging. Atlas misalignment and spinal misalignment put stress and pressure on the intervertebral discs, which can lead to premature wear and degenerative changes to the spine. Over time, this can cause visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles, creases and loss of skin tone. With an atlas straightening, you can prevent these processes and keep your skin and appearance youthful.
General well-being: The correct positioning of the atlas and the correction of scoliosis contribute to your general well-being. You feel more energy, lightness and comfort in your body. The pain and discomfort associated with poor posture and a misaligned atlas give way to a feeling of freedom and ease of movement. This affects your vitality, mood, and self-confidence.
The Swiss method of atlas straightening is a valuable tool for improving your health and appearance. By combining it with other practical self-care tips, you can achieve harmony between inner and outer well-being.
Remember, regularity and consistency in maintaining proper atlas positioning, along with a healthy lifestyle, will allow you to achieve maximum results. Taking care of your atlas and posture is an investment in your overall health, youthfulness and beauty. Don't hesitate to contact a Swiss-trained atlas specialist for professional help and advice. Trust your body to experience positive changes and you can enjoy life to the fullest, move freely and look younger and healthier.
The Effects of Alcohol on Beauty and Health
Strictly speaking, beauty is not only an external impression, but also a reflection of our inner state. Our lifestyle and habits, including alcohol consumption, have a huge impact on our appearance, youthfulness and activity. In this chapter we will discuss how alcohol has a negative effect on our health and appearance and why I strongly recommend avoiding its consumption.
Mineral and vitamin deficiencies: Alcohol, being a poison to the body, causes deficiencies in the nutrients we need. It negatively affects the absorption and assimilation of vitamins and minerals, which are essential for healthy skin, hair and nails. A lack of these important ingredients leads to poor skin, swelling and redness, as well as dull eyes, skin and hair.
Collagen and elastin damage: Alcohol can destroy collagen and elastin, important proteins that keep skin supple and elastic. Chronic alcohol consumption can lead to wrinkles, loss of tone and elasticity, making skin more susceptible to aging.
A loose figure and fat deposition: Alcohol contains many empty calories, which are not good for the body, but can cause fat accumulation. Continuous consumption of alcohol can lead to gaining extra pounds, especially in the abdominal area. Moreover, alcohol affects your metabolism, which makes it harder to burn fat and can lead to obesity.
Sleep disturbance and emotional state: Alcohol has a negative effect on sleep quality. It can disrupt the normal sleep cycle and lead to shallow and insufficiently restorative sleep. Lack of quality sleep affects our appearance, causing dark circles under the eyes, puffiness and a tired look. In addition, alcohol can also disrupt our emotional state, causing mood swings, irritability, and depression.
Damage to the liver and organs: The liver is the body's main filter, and it bears the brunt of alcohol processing. Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to liver damage, cirrhosis and other serious diseases. It directly affects the appearance, causing jaundice of the skin, redness of the face and vascular spiders.
Accelerated aging and premature signs of aging: Alcohol has a dehydrating effect on the body, including the skin. Constant dehydration leads to dry and flabby skin, as well as the appearance of wrinkles and age spots. Thus, alcohol consumption contributes to premature aging and makes us look older than our age.
Given all these negative consequences, I decided to give up alcohol completely. For three years now, I have not had a single drink, even on holidays. This decision allowed me to improve my health, look younger and fresher, and increase my activity and vitality.
I encourage you to think about the effects of alcohol on your beauty and health. Maybe this will be a turning point in your life, when you make a choice to live a healthy lifestyle. And remember, true beauty and youthfulness begins with inner harmony and taking care of your body. Instead of resorting to alcohol, look for alternative ways to relax and have fun that are not detrimental to your health and beauty.
Here are some practical tips on how to kick the drinking habit and restore your youth and beauty:
1) Give up alcohol completely: Making the decision to give up alcohol completely can be difficult, but it's an important step for your health and appearance. Gradually reduce your alcohol intake and find substitutes in the form of soft drinks or fresh juices.
2) Lead a healthy lifestyle: Pay more attention to your physical condition and lifestyle. Exercise regularly, eat right, get enough sleep, and take time for relaxation and self-care. A healthy lifestyle promotes overall health and beauty.
3) Strengthen Your Mental Strength: Getting rid of your drinking habit requires mental strength and determination. Develop your mental fortitude through self-development practices and positive thinking. A strong mind will help you overcome temptation and stay on the path to a healthy and beautiful life.
4) Find Healthy Ways to Relax: Instead of alcohol, look for healthy ways to relax and enjoy yourself. This can be simply sports, board games, chess, or even extreme sports, walking outdoors, reading interesting books, or taking up a hobby. These activities can help you relax, de-stress, and enjoy the moment without resorting to alcohol.
5) Maintain social connections: It is important to have the support of the people around you. Connect with friends and family, find like-minded people who share your desire for a healthy lifestyle. Spend time with those who inspire and motivate you to be a better person.
6) Pay attention to nutrition: Proper nutrition plays an important role in our beauty and health. Pay attention to eating foods rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy fats, proteins and carbohydrates, and be sure to drink plenty of water.
7) Develop New Interests and Achievements: Set yourself new goals and strive for achievements. This will help you take your mind off alcohol and focus on developing your skills and hobbies. It will take time and effort to get used to your new lifestyle, but the results will be worth it.
So, in this chapter we discussed the effects of alcohol on our beauty and health. I am convinced that quitting alcohol will keep you young, beautiful, and active for years to come. Make a healthy lifestyle choice and enjoy all the benefits it offers. Your body and your beauty are your most precious possession, and it deserves only the best care and attention.
Drugs
I want to share with you my experiences and beliefs about the harms of alcohol, drugs, and standard treatment protocols. Personally, these topics are of particular importance to me, as I have experimented with alcohol myself in the past and am fortunate to have been able to stop. As a health practitioner and writer, my focus is on health and beauty, and I believe that abstaining from harmful things, as well as finding alternative treatment approaches, can lead to significant positive changes in our lives.
In addition to alcohol, drugs and certain prescription drugs also have devastating effects on our health and beauty. Drugs such as cocaine, LSD, peyote, marijuana, amphetamines and others, even supposedly natural ones, cause serious skin, hair and dental problems and affect our mental and physical well-being. It is also important to pay attention to the side effects of prescription medications that can affect our appearance and overall health. Some prescription medications can cause dry skin, hair loss, tooth discoloration, and lead to swelling and other unpleasant side effects. I encourage you to be aware of the potential risks and discuss them with your doctor to find the most appropriate and safe treatment options.
